Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 28: Lanruo Temple Second Level Team Dungeon: Tree Demon

Unfortunately, Ning Caichen finally rejected the invitation of the beautiful female ghost.

Mo Yudie and Bush Gomen had no fun, and Chen Xingzhi could not obtain valuable data on the interaction between humans and ghosts.

The three people outside the door suddenly felt bored.

"But isn't this a good thing?" Yan Chixia looked at the three of them looking depressed, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, yes, it's a good thing." Chen Xingzhi was the first to straighten his face and said seriously: "It's getting late, let's go back to the room to recuperate."

The other three agreed.

The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Ning Caichen finally woke up with a start.

Thinking back to the dream he had last night, he couldn't help but blush.

After clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, he was about to ask other people in Lanruo Temple about what happened last night, but when he walked into the yard, he found that there was no one there.

"Where did everyone go?" Ning Caichen wondered.

Just at this moment, a loud noise came from behind Lanruo Temple, followed by a terrifying scream that resounded through the sky.

"How dare you, damned ones, set fire to my real body!"

A giant tree rose from the ground, and countless branches waved and whipped the earth.

After a while, a heat wave swept across, and the raging fire surged to the sky. The raging flames climbed up the branches of the giant tree to its trunk, and then climbed up to its crown along the trunk.

The giant tree was burned by the unextinguishable fire and was in excruciating pain. It could only raise more roots to kill the arsonist.

However, as soon as the stem was raised, it was cut off by the interweaving sword and knife energy, turning into pieces of varying sizes.

“It hurts so much!” The tree demon screamed again in pain, “Go and stop them!”

Under its orders, the ghosts under its control began to pounce on the attacking people, but were stopped by seven people exuding demonic aura.

Originally the newcomers still had some concerns, but under the stimulation of the corrupt bacteria implanted in their bodies, all the resentment and humiliation they had felt over the past period of time burst out at once, and they all rushed towards the attacking ghosts with red eyes.

"Damn it, I can't go on like this." The tree demon knew that if he continued like this, he would die.

"I must sacrifice my rook to save my king, and then ask Master Blackstone to help me get revenge."

Thinking of this, it made a decision, and the leaves on the treetops fell down.

When those sharp and tough leaves fell, it was like a rain of swords, cutting the ghosts and newcomers who were unable to dodge. Even Yan Chixia and the others were forced to retreat.

Fortunately, the newcomers had amazing recovery abilities, so nothing serious happened.

But the ghosts were not so lucky, and many of them died on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tree demon condensed all his vitality and cultivation into a seed, and wrapped it with his own soul and escaped underground.

"Once I escape, I will kill you!"

The tree demon was imagining the scene of revenge in the future, but suddenly he felt his soul hit something soft, and then he was completely unable to break free.

Clusters of purple fungi surrounded it, gradually enveloping it and devouring its soul.

"What the hell are these?" The tree demon was horrified, and before the fungus completely wrapped it up, it threatened: "The Black Stone Demon is standing behind me. If you touch me, he will never let you go!"

"Let me go, and I will definitely ask him to give you a way out in the future!"

"Quick, let me go, leave"

No matter how it begged for mercy, the fungus just dutifully completed the orders it was given.

The tree demon's soul was constantly being devoured, and it only felt weaker and weaker. Its originally coherent thoughts began to become unclear, and whispers could be heard in its ears.

It was as if death was tempting it into eternal sleep.

It tried to struggle with all its remaining strength, but it was powerless. In the end, it could only allow the fungus to completely wrap it up, forming a spherical object.

The small ball containing the tree demon's soul was finally transported back to Chen Xingzhi by the fungus.

He weighed the ball in his hand, unable to suppress the urge to study it.

But as a mature reincarnation, he still held back.

"Your grandmother is dead," Chen Xingzhi turned to look at Nie Xiaoqian, who was sitting on the ground, looking pitiful, and said coldly, "Now, you and the other ghosts are my captives."

Then he looked at Ning Caichen, who was also trembling but protecting Nie Xiaoqian, and asked with interest:
"Ning Caichen, you've only known this female ghost for less than a day, why are you acting so affectionate with her?"

"Master, Xiaoqian is not an evil ghost. She was forced by the tree demon. Please let Xiaoqian go. I am willing to work like a slave to repay you." Ning Caichen begged bitterly.

Chen Xingzhi narrowed his eyes. This matter seemed quite strange to him.

How did Ning Caichen suddenly meet the escaped Nie Xiaoqian, and still protect her wholeheartedly after learning that she was actually a ghost?
"It doesn't make sense. Could it be the Qi that's causing the trouble?"

His mind was full of thoughts, but he kept talking: "Humph, do you know how many lives these ghosts have killed? How can you let them go so easily? Besides, what is your relationship with this female ghost? Why are you protecting her?"

"Actually," Ning Caichen somehow came up with an idea: "Xiao Qian and I met last night, and we even secretly decided to spend our lives together."

When this sentence was spoken, his brain had already gone blank, and Nie Xiaoqian widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"No, buddy, you are exaggerating. I was watching outside last night. What you said never happened."

Chen Xingzhi complained crazily in his heart, but his expression remained the same. "I don't believe it, but if you can make that female ghost give birth to a child, I will believe that you two are truly in love."

After hearing this, the man and the ghost on the opposite side both showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Master, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course." Chen Xingzhi nodded, as if it was a matter of course. "Although I have long calculated that you two are destined to be together, I don't believe in the love between a human and a ghost. But if you can prove it, I will let you go."

He spoke with such righteousness that no one could have imagined that his purpose was just to see what could be produced by the combination of man and ghost, and to collect some data at the same time.

Ning Caichen showed a hesitant look and turned to look at Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian also looked at him lovingly and said, "It's all up to Master Ning."

In the end, they agreed to Chen Xingzhi's conditions.

As long as their child is not born, they cannot leave Lanruo Temple.

Not long after, the giant tree fell to the ground with a loud bang, and Yan Chixia and others came over to meet Chen Xingzhi.

As soon as he came over, he asked, "Daoyou, have you caught the soul of the tree demon?"

"Of course," Chen Xingzhi showed the ball in his hand, "This is it, but it will take me some time to completely erase it."

Yan Chixia finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he noticed Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian and asked in surprise, "Are these two a man and a ghost together?"

Seeing that they did not deny it, Yan Chixia frowned even more tightly, but finally sighed and said no more.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and suggested:
"Oh, fellow Taoists, that tree demon seems to have hidden a cave. There should be some good things hidden in it. Why don't we go and find it together?"

Chen Xingzhi and the other two had no objection and nodded in agreement.

With the joint efforts of the four people, the tree demon cave was soon found.

Hidden inside were some spiritual objects, gold and silver collected by the tree demon, and even a few books containing unorthodox methods.

The four of them searched the cave thoroughly, divided the loot, and Yan Chixia and the other two returned directly to Lanruo Temple.

Only Chen Xingzhi remained in the cave, and he was thinking about transforming it into his second branch base.

It just so happens that the remains of the tree demon are right there, so we can make use of it.
